What we know about AA1148

What flying DFW to BOS takes

It is a medium-haul sector, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. American Airlines needs a narrowbody on the longer variants, or a widebody where demand justifies it: at this distance the choice is usually about seat count rather than range. In daylight the sun sits on the right (south-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign AAL1148 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 13 days between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-03. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

AA1148 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 7 observations of AA1148 across 7 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-03. Those records contain 7 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was DFW-BOS (7 records).

The median recorded visibility was 221 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does AA1148 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A321-200, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown2,509 km
AircraftAirbus A321
Fuel burn rate3.61 kg per km
Fuel burned9,057 kg
CO2, whole flight28.6 tonnes
Seats, typical layout185
Passengers carried154 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger186 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 186 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy163 seats, 135 flown
153 kg CO2 per seat
Business22 seats, 18 flown
443 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, AA1148 emits what 477 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 1,093 km, or 5,310 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at a 0 km sector, the only published sector for this type, applied to this route's 2,509 km unadjusted. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put AA1148 against another flight.
